[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 9979, member: 393"] I've learned to wait the psychiatrist out. Seriously, each appointment I would go in & mention the possibility of adding a MS & dropping the stimulant. It took about 6 months with some additional articles for him to read. Having said that, our difficult children are a work in progress. I expect the tweedles will have several diagnosis's over the course of their years - they simply started out as ADHD. Now that's been dropped & others have been diagnosis'd. In the meantime, I'd allow for "some" of your difficult children deficits. If he cannot sit still through dinner let him stand at the table. As your difficult child matures you will be able to add in the world's expectations, keeping in mind that your difficult child may never be able to meet those expectations. While the world won't take into account our children's illnesses, I'm already working on transition care into adult hood. Looking into group homes and such. And praying that level of service won't be needed. Don't lose hope - there's a lot of time between 8 & 18 years of age. There's a lot of time for changes, improvements or the status quo. Plan for the worst, expect the best. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
